by Geoff O'Callaghan ISBN 97818446930256 Published: 2007 Pages: 140 Description Tektite Steven Marshal, and his little brother, Frankie, is in a loving family. Tragedy strikes, when a cycling accident renders Frankie brain injured and comatose. Graham Marshal, a geologist, gives Frankie a tektite - a small meteor found in Australian deserts. The tektite contains an alien life form, Tek, who is a magical plasmoid, able to take on any form. Tek flows into Frankie, and heals his wounds. Normally, Tek appears as a small boy, and he joins Steven and Frankie in their games and at school. Tek's existence is discovered by the press, and the family has to flee in order to protect Tek from a desperate public, and corporate criminals, anxious to get control of Tek and his healing powers. Tek, Steven, and Frankie flee to a huge meteorite crater in order to take Tek back to his family of plasmoids. One step ahead of the corporation, Tek uses his magic to fly the boys to the crater. There, the aliens manage to summon their mother ship and leave Earth. The boys, still magical, head for home. About the Author Geoff was born in Jersey, then under German occupation, during World War II. Soon after the war, his family moved to Brisbane, Australia. He was educated at All Souls' School, Charters Towers - a rather traditional boarding school after the English style. What knowledge one didn't learn through the ears was well and truly belted in through the rear end, complete with blood blisters. His first contact with the cane was for not running around a sports oval fast enough. He now prides himself on a complete disinterest on sports and knows nothing about cricket. This led to his creative and artistic sides developing. He had a way with words, and was a skilled debater. After secondary school, he took to teaching, graduated, and then obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in Aboriginal Education. For the next thirty years, he lived with remote aborigines in the Great Western Desert, firstly as a primary school teacher, and later as a School Principal and Administrator. During this time, he took up writing, mostly short stories and film scripts. It was a good way to while away lonely hours in the desert evenings.
